6mo since Good was shot and DHS is still "rolling out" bodycams. But somehow they were able to issue every piece of equipment needed for a battlefield in less than a month to every ICE agent and desk jockey.

I've got some: Death to America.

If America dies the whole world dies. You think we won’t fucking nuke everything on our way out? We have a pedophile narcissistic king. No one is getting out alive. The climate crisis not withstanding. So you’re fucked too either way. The earth is getting rid of humanity. But yeah America sucks right now.

Look at our “President” and tell me he would not set the world on fire.
Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml · 13 pts · 68d
He can't even beat Iran, let alone the world, look at yourselves and realize the world goes on without America, lol.
sportsjorts@lemmy.zip · -3 pts · 67d
I’m not talking about him beating anyone. I’m not saying the world can’t exist without America. I’m saying that he and his death cult would nuke the world before being captured or defeated.

I mean, yeah, Fatboy McKiddieFiddler is blatantly one of the worst people on this planet right now. An argument could be had the actual worst what with the killing, corruption, the raping etc etc etc.
And, in my opinion, one of the worst people in the top 20% in history of horrible people, but that orange blobs destructive warmongering idiocy isn't how I took your comment. And neither did anyone else by the looks of it.
No, I took it that america is so exceptional that the whole world implodes without it. And so did everyone else, by the looks of it. Which is hilarious. No country is that important. Hell a massive meteor hit the world a few million years ago and the world survived, so I'm sure it'll go on just fine without a country or two.
The lesson I would take from this is either don't say such 'explosive' things, or be more articulate in what you are actually trying to say.
sportsjorts@lemmy.zip · -1 pts · 67d
The lesson I have taken from this is that people write their biases and have trouble reading. But thanks I guess.
D_C@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 67d
Haha, yeahhhhhhh, it's definitely other people that are at fault here. Not you saying explosive statements without explaining yourself.

Based solely on your own post, do you now understand why the world hates you?
sportsjorts@lemmy.zip · -4 pts · 68d
Fuck. You don’t know me. You think this is what I want for my country? I’m one fucking wage slave being pissed on by the oligarchs that run America like a discount Russia. Go ahead and hate me. I live in a state where my vote is like pissing into the wind and I vote every chance I get. I march and speak out and you know what runs America and the fucking world money. I hate what America is right now. But if you want to kill me then I don’t cotton to it well pardner.

Ah, so what chapter was your favorite? Was it the genocide of 90 million Native American, Indians, indigenous folks? Or maybe the slavery era? Or better yet, maybe the Jim Crow Era? Oh and how can I forget the mass incarceration era?
.... Pure liberalism.
Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 68d
Hold on now, they still do that.
sportsjorts@lemmy.zip · -3 pts · 68d
My favorite part was the momentum we have had combatting those things and trying to ensure they never happen again and all of the Americans who have given their bodies lives flesh and blood in sacrifice to change those things. America isn’t one single person it’s a throng of insanity and there are a lot of people who fight against the tide of horror seeking to form a more just and perfect union and then there are a shitload of Nazis.
Where are you from? Everyone wants to play this gotcha card like America is the only imperialist nation that has ever existed or somehow the only nation in the world that commits atrocities.
If you really want to know my favorite part has been the mass waking up to history that has recently caused an absolute violent and fascist crackdown almost completely destroying America. So the funny thing is you will probably get your wish but you’re not gonna like it.
What’s your countries history? Fuck I don’t even like this place but I’m not so stupid to think my hands are clean or yours are for that matter.
Ferrous@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 68d
Ah, so just vibes. Ight. The point of a system is what it does. You can keep huffing your civil religion till the cows come home.
Jhex@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 68d
That's not the point. I am not even blaming YOU, I am blaming "America". I guess I could have been more clear but the point is that all you said is real and a huge concern for the rest of the world. That, added to the inability of the USA to stop putting its finger in the rest of the world's ass (and not in a fun way), means most cannot like America
As for the rest, man you, and here I will be clear, YOU = THE AMERICAN PEOPLE need to stop thinking about your individual selves and start organizing for the benefit of the many.
While the American people keep holding "Fuck you, Got Mine" as your core principle, you will all just keep speed running down the drain.
Unfortunately for you (yes, you the individual now), your country is too far gone for things to change in any significant way in your lifetime. Most likely, your generation (and likely the next one as well) will need to take the steps, which will imply sacrifices, for the benefit of the generations to come

The American people have fuck all to do with America. You want this shit to end take it up with American corporations and stop buying our shit. From musk to Trump to Clinton to Nixon etc etc we have been wheeling and dealing with fucks from all over the world to destroy workers rights and create the trillionaire rulers. Americans are just as caught in this thing as anyone else. It’s about money and money is power, money is speech, money is extracting everything from everything and everyone and if you participate you’re a fucking American too.
Ferrous@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 68d
Do you think mid 1930s germans had fuck all to do with the Third Reich?
Imagine reading your comment from the perspective of a Venezuelan. It's all just handwaving, casting blame, and evasion. It's pure American exceptionalism, and it's pure liberalism. "Poor widdle baby Americans deserve none of this blame :(".
I encourage you to read about how fascism is actually mitigated. It's not boycotts; it's bullets, world wars, and sacrifice.
Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 67d
So then you should be rioting in the streets instead of shit posting on lemmy.
Jhex@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 67d
so your points are that this is not your fault, it's the rest of the world's… there is nothing you can do because any option is just too hard and/or you won't get the credit and/or is not guaranteed to succeed…
Do you still wonder how fascism festered and flowrished in your country or should I spell it out more clearly?

Username not checking out at all. You can understand multiple things are true. That America is trash and seems hopeless, and also is important to people beyond its borders in many ways.
Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 68d
I can understand dozens of illegal wars, CIA black site torture dungeons, coups, mercenary groups, and dead civilians.
Genocide and slavery.
sportsjorts@lemmy.zip · -3 pts · 68d
That just seems to be par for the fucking course this day and age for super powers and their vassal states. So unless you live in isolation or are currently typing from Palestine you are part of it all too.
Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 68d
That's not what we're talking about here lol, america is the global hegemon, and because of that they are uniquely equipped to mass produce death, destruction, and misery.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world · -4 pts · 68d
Doesn't address what I said. You cannot disprove someone's ideas by changing the subject like you did with both me and the person who responded above. Yes america sucks. Doesn't mean we should blindly hope for it to fail, ignoring all the fallout that innocent people will suffer. Accelerationists are the worst.

Do you think people outside the British Empire during the height of its death and destruction campaign prayed for its collapse?
Its good for you to see what non-Americans think of your country.
Ferrous@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 68d
At what point would you be in favor of death to America? Your political project has gone genocidal, your economics have cemented ecocide, you've got secret police lynching people in the streets, and it has been shown beyond a reasonable doubt that your elected officials are all in a conspiracy to rape and traffic children. I'm guessing there is no point where you'd have any semblance of camaraderie with the third world.
The main character syndrome in your comment is palpable.
"Sure, we've done a bit of genociding Jewish people, but death to the Third Reich? Slow your roll. What about all of the people who depend on our beautiful Mercedes? What about how we as 30s germans are crucial to the international economy? Some sort of depression would increase worldwide suffering"
Just because you are a foundational world economy doesn't mean you get to do genocide. Fuck outta here with this handwringing, pearl clutching, imperialist, liberal, genocide apologia masquerading as utilitarianism.
Just keep in mind the rest of the world hates you.
"Which country is the biggest threat to world peace?"

What the fuck does death to America even mean? You're super pissed at me because of a bunch of shit you made up about me and I'm not engaging anymore unless you calm down and explain what that even means first.
Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 68d
It means death to the American experiment. It's a failure. Fucking read what your country has done since WWII. You are the bad guys.

Disgusting nation and will remain so until these traitors are tried and executed. Or, at the very least, left to rot in Guantanamo for the remainder of their pathetic lives.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail (and probably other right wing publications) are still reporting ICE's lies about this as fact this morning,

wait! they are actually getting warrants now!
inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 68d
The bar for obtaining a warrant has been so low lately with such crappy judges being elected or assigned into office.
Limonene@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 68d
They just make up shit. They probably knew they didn't have a warrant for this person.
There are always at least some warrants. ICE will pick one at random and say "I thought it was them."
HubertManne@piefed.social · 4 pts · 68d
yeah also I forget they like to call their orders desk warrants.
CileTheSane@lemmy.ca · 8 pts · 67d
Why the fuck wouldn't they? There's been zero consequences for their other murders so why would they stop?
SabinStargem@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 67d
99.99.99% odds that the arrest warrant is fake or rubber stamped.

Jail.
DarkFuture@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 68d
Not enough.
The punishment for treason is death. The U.S. has issued this punishment for treason before.
They are traitors because they are openly and repeatedly violating our Constitution.

Didn't something just like it happen just a few days ago?
I thought it was the same incident until I saw that this victim was Colombian. I think the last one was Guatemalan, but I swear it was less than a week ago...
